Blair is not forced to stay at UNO. He would just have to sit out a year if he transferred. That is standard practice in college athletics. It seems that Blair is acting on bad information from the internet. With Shinn and others involved, it is likely that things will be even better than when he signed his letter of intent.

LakeToRiver, did you know that academics at UNO takes in many many times the donations that the athletic department does? How do you know these generous people haven't donated money to academics? A large part of UNO's operating budget comes from private donations. So somebody is donating a lot of money to academics.

Did you know that when the basketball team gets money playing a guarantee game, that money goes back into the general fund, not athletics?

When UNO played at Florida around 2000, I was told that $40,000 paid by UF went into the general fund, not to athletics.

Did you know that when a coach buys out his contract, that money also goes back into the general fund, not to the athletic department? The Buzz Williams buyout was around $350,000. That money goes to the general fund, not to athletics.

The fact is that UNO athletics has been shortchanged for its entire existence when compared to other universities.
